Former champion reflects on another season of disappointment‘We have higher targets than ever before,’ he tells the BBC
Lewis Hamilton has admitted to moments of self doubt after a second successive Formula One season without a win. The 38-year-old echoes the fears of his team principal, Toto Wolff, that Mercedes have a “massive gap to close” to topple Max Verstappen’s all-conquering Red Bull team next season.
Mercedes clung on to second place in the constructors’ championship – and a £10m cash boost – by the skin of their teeth as the Dutch driver ended the most dominant season in F1 history with another victory at the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix. Another title for Verstappen and another season playing catch-up had been a blow to Hamilton’s confidence, the seven-times world champion conceded in a frank interview with the BBC.
